Iconic

I'm all for psuedonyms amongst bloggers and commenters - particularly if one stands behind that name for all of their blogging. I'm not a fan of the hit-and-run commenter that doesn't have the fortitude to provide SOME sort of reference as to who they are or what they have said in the past.

Having said that, I don't quite understand why people pick common movie characters as their pseudonym - or more specifically, why they use a photo of that character as their icon. I saw a comment, complete with photo, by some commenter named Severus the other day, after Severus Snape of Harry Potter fame.

Just one question: why use a character photo? I just don't get it. What does it really add?

Does that mean I should go back to my black bra avatar?

Actually the best movie character avatar I've seen is Randal Graves.

Bra avatars rule!

I don't recognize your avatar as a movie character, but then I'm not known for paying attention. I don't even use an avatar, but if so, I might use this.
